About this Event

In this cosy workshop, you will learn the history of Aran Knitting & begin to craft traditional Aran knitwear through a take-away Aran scarf knitting project using Irish wool yarn sourced & spun in Co. Donegal. Suitable for all skill levels, this experience is a fantastic introduction to both cable knitting techniques & traditional Irish design.

Aran cable knitting originated off the west coast of Ireland within the boundaries of its namesake home, the Aran Islands – a neat group of Gaeltacht isles nestled in the cold, restless waters of the Atlantic; their history long, rich & holding tight to an Irish-speaking status to this day. It is here that the ‘Aran Jumper’ hails from, this notable knitwear incorporating the very techniques this course will pass on to you.

Aran hand-knitting has unfortunately fared less well in this modern world, seeing a decline that demands attention. In the spirit of preserving and promoting a niche piece of Irish heritage, this experience aims to share this longstanding hand-knitting technique; specialty sourcing the original Aran knitwear Irish wool from Ireland's only native sheep breed, The Galway, to serve as our core material.


All materials included:

• Irish wool yarn from Irish Sheep - traditional báinín white

• Aran knitting pattern - Designed by Ryan Daniel

• Knitting needles
